FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compounds and composition for inhibition of fatty acid synthase (“FASN”), their synthesis, applications and antidote. This application does not claim priority from any other application.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Fatty acid synthase (hereinafter “FASN;” also known as “FAS”) plays fundamental roles in both cellular metabolism and cellular signaling. FASN catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), thus getting involved in energy production and storage, cellular structure and formation of intermediates in the biosynthesis of hormones and other biologically important molecules.

Extensive research has been conducted to study the expression, function, and regulation of both FASN encoding genes and the various forms of FASN proteins. Several studies indicate that FASN is involved in the oncogenesis and tumor progression of various cancers. For example, FASN gene amplification and protein overexpression was observed in human breast cancer cell lines. (Hunt D A, Lane H M, Zygmont M E, Dervan P A, Hennigar R A (2007), MRNA stability and overexpression of fatty acid synthase in human breast cancer cell lines. Anticancer Res. 27 (1A): 27-34; Kuhaja F P, (2006) Fatty acid synthase and cancer: New application of an old pathway. Cancer Research, 66(12) 5977-5980; Menendez J A, Lupu R (2007) Fatty acid synthase and the lipogenic phenotype in cancer pathogenesis. Nature Review Cancer, 7, 763-777.) In addition, a study focusing on ovarian neoplasms revealed that elevated levels of FASN serve as an indicator for shorter survival of the subject. (Gansler T S, Hardman W, Hunt D A, Schaffel S, Hennigar R A (June 1997). Increased expression of fatty acid synthase (OA-519) in ovarian neoplasms predicts shorter survival. Hum. Pathol. 28 (6): 686-92). In summary, correlation of elevated FASN expression or activity with high tumor grade and advanced stage in primary breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers has drawn attention to the enzyme as a possible drug target and marker of poor prognosis.

In addition to the involvement in oncogenesis, FASN has also been identified as a factor that may influence the progression of diseases such as diabetes and uterine leiomyomata. In particular, one study found that a FASN inhibitor, platensimycin, reduced ambient glucose levels in mouse models of diabetes. Furthermore, FASN inhibitors have been shown to be potentially effective in inducing weight loss (e.g EP0869784-A). Similarly, a genome-wide study suggests that FASN may contribute to the predisposition to uterine leiomyomata.

Furthermore, FASN has been identified as a target for treatment of microbial infections. In particular, fatty acid synthesis or the level of fatty acid has been reported to be critical in viral pathogenesis. In addition, FASN has been implicated in pathogeneiss of human cytomegalo virus (HCMV), influenza A viruses and Hepatitis C (See, e.g., Munger et al., Nature Biotechnology, 26: 1179-1186 (2008)). It has also been reported that the FASN expression is increased in the cells infected by coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), a picornavirus, and the replication of CVB3 is blocked by FASN inhibitors. (See Rassmann et al., Antiviral Research, 76: 150-158 (2007)). In addition, FASN has been reported to be important in lytic viral replication of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). (Li et al., Journal of Virology, 78(8): 4197-4206 (2004)). FASN has also been implicated to have a role in the replication of dengue virus (See, e.g., Heaton et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 107(40): 17345-17350 (2010); and Samsa et al., PLoS Pathegens, 5(10): e1000632 (2009)). Moreover, FASN plays important role in HCV infection by controlling viral entry and production (Yang W, Hood B L, Chadwick S L, Watkins, Luo G, Conrads T P, Wang T (2008), Fatty acid synthase is up-regulated during hepatitis C virus infection and regulates hepatitis C virus entry and production. Hepatology, 48, 13967-1403)

Significant efforts have been focusing on generating FASN inhibitors that may help to provide a treatment for cancer and other related diseases. A number of inhibitor families have been identified and published, such as the azabenzimidazoles series (WO 2011/066211 and related publications) and the sulfonamide derivatives series (WO 2008/075070 and related publications) from AstraZeneca UK Ltd. However, due to FASN's importance and the shortcomings in the published compounds, there is still an unmet need for potent and highly specific FASN inhibitors.

The current invention introduces a new set of compounds that selectively inhibits FASN activities and modulates the growth and proliferation of cancer cell lines. The synthetic processes of the new compounds are also included. These compounds may have significant pharmaceutical implications in the treatment of cancer, as well as other diseases such as viral infections, obesity, and diabetes.

Also included are solid form preparations that are intended to be converted, shortly before use, to liquid form preparations for either oral or parenteral administration. Such liquid forms include solutions, suspensions and emulsions.

The compounds of the invention may also be deliverable transdermally. The transdermal compositions can take the form of creams, lotions, aerosols and/or emulsions and can be included in a transdermal patch of the matrix or reservoir type as are conventional in the art for this purpose.

The compounds of this invention may also be delivered subcutaneously.

Preferably the compound is administered orally or intravenously.

Preferably, the pharmaceutical preparation is in a unit dosage form. In such form, the preparation is subdivided into suitably sized unit doses containing appropriate quantities of the active component, e.g., an effective amount to achieve the desired purpose.

The quantity of active compound in a unit dose of preparation may be varied or adjusted from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, preferably from about 1 mg to about 500 mg, more preferably from about 1 mg to about 250 mg, still more preferably from about 1 mg to about 25 mg, according to the particular application.

The actual dosage employed may be varied depending upon the requirements of the patient and the severity of the condition being treated. Determination of the proper dosage regimen for a particular situation is within the skill of the art. For convenience, the total daily dosage may be divided and administered in portions during the day as required.

The amount and frequency of administration of the compounds of the invention and/or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof will be regulated according to the judgment of the attending clinician considering such factors as age, condition and size of the patient as well as severity of the symptoms being treated. A typical recommended daily dosage regimen for oral administration can range from about 1 mg/day to about 500 mg/day, preferably 1 mg/day to 200 mg/day, in two to four divided doses.

The compounds of Formulas I, I-A, I-B, I-C and I-D can form salts which are also within the scope of this invention. Reference to a compound of the Formula herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated. The term “salt(s)”, as employed herein, denotes acidic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic bases. In addition, when a compound of the Formula contains both a basic moiety, such as, but not limited to a pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety, such as, but not limited to a carboxylic acid, zwitterions (“inner salts”) may be formed and are included within the term “salt(s)” as used herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful. Salts of the compounds of the Formula may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of Formula with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization.

Exemplary acid addition salts include acetates, ascorbates, benzoates, benzenesulfonates, bisulfates, borates, butyrates, citrates, camphorates, camphorsulfonates, fumarates, hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, hydroiodides, lactates, maleates, methanesulfonates, naphthalenesulfonates, nitrates, oxalates, phosphates, propionates, salicylates, succinates, sulfates, tartarates, thiocyanates, toluenesulfonates (also known as tosylates) and the like. Additionally, acids which are generally considered suitable for the formation of pharmaceutically useful salts from basic pharmaceutical compounds are discussed, for example, by P. Stahl et al, Camille G. (eds.) Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts. Properties, Selection and Use. (2002) Zurich: Wiley-VCH; S. Berge et al, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66(1) 1-19; P. Gould, International J. of Pharmaceutics (1986) 33 201-217; Anderson et al, The Practice of Medicinal Chemistry (1996), Academic Press, New York; and in The Orange Book (Food & Drug Administration, Washington, D.C. on their website). These disclosures are incorporated herein by reference thereto.

Exemplary basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium, lithium, and potassium salts, alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium and magnesium salts, salts with organic bases (for example, organic amines) such as dicyclohexylamines, t-butyl amines, and salts with amino acids such as arginine, lysine and the like. Basic nitrogen-containing groups may be quarternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides (e.g. methyl, ethyl, and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), dialkyl sulfates (e.g. dimethyl, diethyl, and dibutyl sulfates), long chain halides (e.g. decyl, lauryl, and stearyl chlorides, bromides and iodides), aralkyl halides (e.g. benzyl and phenethyl bromides), and others.

All such acid salts and base salts are intended to be pharmaceutically acceptable salts within the scope of the invention and all acid and base salts are considered equivalent to the free forms of the corresponding compounds for purposes of the invention.

Compounds of the various Formulas, and salts, solvates, esters and prodrugs thereof, may exist in their tautomeric form (for example, as an amide or imino ether). All such tautomeric forms are contemplated herein as part of the present invention.

The compounds of the various Formulas may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the various Formulas as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. In addition, the present invention embraces all geometric and positional isomers. For example, if a compound of the various Formulas incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the invention. Each compound herein disclosed includes all the enantiomers that conform to the general structure of the compound. The compounds may be in a racemic or enantiomerically pure form, or any other form in terms of stereochemistry. The assay results may reflect the data collected for the racemic form, the enantiomerically pure form, or any other form in terms of stereochemistry.

Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Also, some of the compounds of the various Formulas may be atropisomers (e.g., substituted biaryls) and are considered as part of this invention. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of chiral HPLC column.

It is also possible that the compounds of the various Formulas may exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced within the scope of the invention. Also, for example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the invention.

All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the like) of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates, esters and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts, solvates and esters of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of this invention, as are positional isomers (such as, for example, 4-pyridyl and 3-pyridyl). (For example, if a compound of the various Formulas incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the invention. Also, for example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the invention.) Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. The chiral centers of the present invention can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. The use of the terms “salt”, “solvate”, “ester,” “prodrug” and the like, is intended to equally apply to the salt, solvate, ester and prodrug of enantiomers, stereoisomers, rotamers, tautomers, positional isomers, racemates or prodrugs of the inventive compounds.

The present invention also embraces isotopically-labelled compounds of the present invention which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine, such as ²H, ³H, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁸O, ¹⁷O, ³¹P, ³²P, ³⁵S, ¹⁸F, and ³⁶Cl, respectively.

Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of the various Formulas (e.g., those labeled with ³H and ¹⁴C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e., ³H) and carbon-14 (i.e., ¹⁴C) isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., ²H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some circumstances. Isotopically labelled compounds of the various Formulas can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples hereinbelow, by substituting an appropriate isotopically labelled reagent for a non-isotopically labelled reagent.

Polymorphic forms of the compounds of the various Formulas, and of the salts, solvates, esters and prodrugs of the compounds of the various Formulas, are intended to be included in the present invention.

The effects of the FASN inhibitors on cultured cancer cell proliferation were studies with cell proliferation assays. PC3 cells were maintained at standard culture media (F12K media supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1×MEM nonessential amino acid and 1× penicillin/streptomycin). 2000-3000 cells/100 μL/well was seeded in a 96-well clear culture plate. The cells were incubated overnight in 5% CO₂ at 37° C. for attachment. Cell media were removed and replaced with F12K media containing 10% lipid reduced serum and compound. The final DMSO concentration is 0.1%. The cells were maintained in 5% CO₂ at 37° C. for 4 days. The viability of cells was determined by MTT assays. The IC50 of a given compound was calculated by fitting the dose response curve with a four parameter logistic equation.
